- Comment on Why does my overhang/bridge look so bad? Isn't this small enough to be done better? 4 days ago:
Honestly, I just keep changing all sorts of settings until it does what I want. Sometimes even layer height can affect bridge behaviour.
But first thing I’d do is to rotate the piece by 90° and see if the thin bridges that you can see behind the thick curved ones, change their orientation to be short instead of long.

It would help if you showed how it looks in the slicer.
But from the photo it looks like it made the bridge in a circular way instead of in parallel lines. If you can make the bridging go strictly in parallel lines from top to bottom, it should turn out better.

- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 6 days ago:
Aaah thanks for explaining, I didn’t even know that was a thing, cause I never did any tutorials, I just started rawdogging it at some point when I needed to do a project.
I do mostly functional designs and I agree that Blender is not the best for it tbh. it can be fiddly and unintuitive. I guess I just know my way around it rather well by now.
There is this plugin that can make it more interesting for people that come fom the CAD workflow: www.cadsketcher.com (but you won’t be making realistic doughnuts with it)

I’ll probably get downvoted to hell for what I say but anyway:
- I use blender for all my 3d print designs
- If you need something custom, just write me a pm, I’ll do it for about 5$ per hour. You’ll get a 3mf, an stl and a blend file.

Thanks for the patient reply. The history of printers is super intriguing.

- Comment on Recommendations for data backup solutions ? 2 weeks ago:
I tried that once and it takes way longer to run a backup.
- Comment on Recommendations for data backup solutions ? 2 weeks ago:
I have 2 powered RAID enclosures from icybox with 2 multi TB HDD in each one. The RAID is set to mirror the drives.
They are connected via usb 3 to a raspberry pi which runs borgbackup.
One is in my own place, just next to the main server.
The other is at my parents place in another city.
All my desktops, laptops and servers have borgmatic installed with the two pi’s as two targets. So when I create a backup it gets send to both locations. On my PCs I manually do a borg backup like once a month when I feel like it. The server computers are all on a daily schedule.
Borg has extremely efficient compression and defuplication. So having 20 historical snapshots of the whole file storage of each device takes about 30% less space than the original size on disk.
For example my desktop currently uses ~800GB but the borgbackup of said desktop takes only ~500GB.
The only disadvantage I find is that there is no cross system deduplication.
The super useful advantage is that I was able to just take the HDD enclosure, plug it into my Desktop and restore whatever files I want. I did an rsync to a blank fs once and it restored everything properly. And it’s pretty cheap. like 150$ total per backup location without any significant monthly costs.
- Comment on Any idea what might be going on with this print? 3 weeks ago:
I had a case that looked like that, because the nozzle was scraping the previous layer of the print.
I think that for some reason the layers below were physically taller than in softwas and the additive effect of that stacked and reached critical failure at a certain height. No enclosure/heating chamber btw. It was always the same height for that model, but then a smaller model like a benchie would have no issues on that height. I guess because the filament was warmer due to the smaller loops, so more mendible or less expanded somehow, idk.
I dried my filament so it stopped making bubbles and ran some filament specific calibration and also I changed the extrusion to be a bit lower. Then the issue was gone.
- Comment on Home server / NAS scaling 3 weeks ago:
I feel like by “scaling” they mean upgradability. So either vertical (adding more drives, ram, cpu) or horizontal (adding more boxes that loadbalance an increase of multiple parallel tasks/users)
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 4 weeks ago:
afaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.
- Comment on I'm doing something wrong; can't print this PETG 4 weeks ago:
I’d try a known company first.
I once had a nightmarish time eith some cheap filament and thought my printer just can’t do PETG well. Then I got a good roll and it printed even cleaner than PLA…
- Comment on what do you use to add weight? 5 weeks ago:
I used wheel balancing weights (tiny 5g iron bars) and built them into my prints.

- Comment on Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server! 1 month ago:
my 2 old phones were both replaced because of hardware issues.
one has a broken power button that is constantly randomly spam pressed, so as soon as it gets power if it ever manages to boot it either reboots itself or tries to call emergency services.
the other has a flaky usb c that constantly connects and disconnects unless you hold it at a specific angle and the battery is like a minute away from meltdown - it can hold charge for a couple minutes.
I’d be afraid to leave either plugged in.
I guess the article is for people that buy a new phone yearly out of fashion, not need.
- Comment on Decent 3d scanners under $1000 1 month ago:
I guess iphone (one with lidar, so one of the pro models, but it can be as old as 12) with a 3d scanning app might be the best general purpose in this price range…
Whats also interesting are diy rotating bed scanners like fabscan.org which come at 200-400$
- Comment on Map of services 1 month ago:
How is it a map and not a list?
Like, are the containers related somehow?
If you just want to know whats running, there are a ton of docker autoexplore dashboard out there. But I don’t think they output a map, just a list.
- Comment on Where do I even start? 1 month ago:
Start by searching for how to selfhost a photo storage backup. There are multiple ways to do it and the decision depends on your circumstances and preferences, which only you know.

- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 1 month ago:
OP is about solutions that include certain features out of the box in an easy to use package.
Rolling out a conglomorate of those features that you’ve manually set up and ducktaped together by hand is irrelevant. That could be done for many decades already.

Dokploy has a web ui with a list of services where you click install and it installs them for you.
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 1 month ago:
free foss alternative, look at OMV
lol no. I used this one for a month and no.
It works but it has the most convoluted GUI possible. No backup system at all iirc. And running arbitrary containers was a nightmare that is not even integrated with the GUI.
I settled on dokploy.com
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 1 month ago:
The closest to your dream is probably hexos.com
It is closed source, but build on top of open source…
They (for now) have a one time purchase, no subscription.
It has buddy backups. Can run on any normal x86 pc / server. And a nice GUI for deploying services easily.
I never personally used it. I just have it on my radar.
